India is navigating a foreign policy conundrum following its decision to abstain from voting against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. These new demarcations of loyalties are stirring up crucial considerations and questions about India’s global strategy at a time when it is taking over leadership of the G20 for the year. India’s past policy of nonalignment has been reinvigorated under the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), furthering the country’s dilemma of autonomy and engagement. As the world becomes more multipolar, can the world’s largest democracy still follow a strategy of nonalignment? Additionally, how can India’s foreign policy strengthen its strategic orientation regarding China and Pakistan as well as its position in the Indo-Pacific region? What are the domestic drivers shaping India’s regional position? More importantly, how can India’s participation in the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue aid that? Lastly, what do these answers suggest for U.S. strategy in the Indo-Pacific? Join us to discuss these questions and more is Ambassador Arun Kumar Singh, Former Indian Ambassador to the United States, Professor Waheguru Pal Sidhu, Clinical Professor and directs the United Nations Specialization at the Center for Global Affairs, School of Professional Studies, New York University, and Dr. Manjari Chatterjee Miller, Senior Fellow for India, Pakistan, and South Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations and Associate Professor of International Relations, and the Director of the Rising Powers Initiative at the Pardee Center at Boston University.
